I think that the installation document makes installation much harder than it needs to be, at least, that was my opinion the last time I looked at it. See this for some simpler instructions, including checking to see if it is working:

One thing that post doesn't talk about is the JDK - you need to either install OpenJVM (I know it is available for Fedora and Ubuntu, you'll have to use yum to see if it is available for RHEL) or install a Sun JDK (this is what I usualyy do) by downloading it from Sun's web site.

You never said you were running EAP 4.3. For that version, the default config is named 'production'. That config does not do any console logging after bootstrapping (the part of the console log you saw was from the bootstrap). The 'all' and 'default' configs retain the console log after bootstrap, hence the reason you saw more log output when running 'all'.
